title: Basic data related to surgical infrainguinal revascularization procedures: a twenty year update.
abstract: In 1990, Dalman and Taylor published a compilation of reported data that were identified by them as related to infrainguinal revascularization procedures in peripheral vascular surgery during the decade of the 1980s. The intervening 20 years has seen revolutionary advances in the field of peripheral vascular surgery, especially in the adoption of endovascular techniques, and an explosion of data related to emerging technologies in the field of infrainguinal revascularization. The tables in this manuscript reflect the evolution of our surgical knowledge during the turn of the 21st century. The superior patency of autologous saphenous vein in all positions is reaffirmed.
